Hi All!

I building myself a new build, but with all the inventory being super low - I had to be creative. Before I order, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the package.
The foil is a creative solution to recreate the 2021 Hover Glide Fwind V3:
- 2018 Hoverglide foil (mast, fuselage and back wing - those should be identical as the V3)
- Slingshot infinity wing 76cm for the front wing

I'm thinking also about getting the 2019 JP Australia Hydrofoil FWS Windsurfing. The vendor told me it should be easy matter to retro-fit - is it?
Overall, is it a good board? Incidentally can you use it for wingfoiling?

thanks all!!

The slingshot 2018 works fine with the new infinity wings.

Some like to get the 84 to pair with the old blue gamma. The 76 is the best wing for dudes under 80kg in my opinion for wind foil and if you get the 76 the gamma becomes obselete, unless you want to jump. The 84 will extend your lower end and you can always switch to the gamma if it starts blowing a lot. For an old wing the gamma was actually pretty good. Wingers might lean more towards the 84 than the 76 though.

That JP 135 is a good board. I think the small slingshot tuttle fits fine in the JP deep tuttle box, but someone on here will confirm. I think you can use any board for winging but most seem to end up on a dedicated wingding board pretty quick. A board with tracks tends to be the way to go if winging is your goal.
